A first...

I ate a salad for dinner.
Never done that before. Ever. Never had one for lunch either, for that matter.

It was doable. Field greens, olive oil, pine nuts, bacon. Bacon makes almost anything tolerable. Almost. ;o)

Got directed by [livejournal.com profile] pabba to the WOTF blog and discovered that I didn't hit semi-finalist either, so the story is definitely going to be a free agent again. It's a wierd story that has been out to four places, got three 'thumbs down' and one 'almost' from the top editor. (It's my 'unreliable narrator' story, which some people just won't get) Thought I'd give it a try at WOTF, but evidently it didn't grab. Hmmmm....must start thinking about another home for it.

ETA: My media player reset itself to "Play All" mode. (Yes, I know how to fix that, so you don't need to advise me on it). Just odd. Harp Consort, followed by Sting, followed by Helm's Deep, followed by Ofra Haza.....brain will explode...

I'd really like to place in WotF. First of all, I really, /really/ want to go to that workshop. Second, it can make all your other stories more saleable.

Very true....perhaps we'll be there together!

That would rock!
